Ravencourt (Drowned Coast)
Ravencourt is a sunken coastal city, battered by tides and storms, where the sea and land are indistinguishable in many districts. Once a bustling port, it now lies partially submerged, with buildings collapsing into the waters and streets serving as canals. Wooden docks creak and rot, and half-sunken ships litter the harbors. Sea spray and salt permeate the air, carrying both the scent of fish and the decay of drowned ruins.
The city’s history is steeped in tragedy and corruption. Drowning, piracy, and plague claimed many lives, and the few surviving residents cling to the upper levels or fortified areas. Water management and tidal hazards are constant concerns; even minor storms can flood streets, wash away bridges, or trap travelers.
Ravencourt is a city of ambush and ruin, where narrow streets and sunken plazas create chokepoints, and hidden hazards lurk beneath the waves. The city is alive with the sounds of creaking wood, lapping water, and distant, mournful cries. Exploration is dangerous but rewarding, as the sunken structures and wrecks often contain artifacts, lore, and secrets of a civilization half-swallowed by the sea. It is a city of constant vigilance, where the line between land and water is perilously thin.
